Keeping it Simple

Can you believe it’s 2015 already? It’s going to take me a while to get used to the new date. It also means that things are going to change SOON. With less than 30 days left till baby, I’m excited, terrified, and impatient. I’ve always been a goal setter, but this year things will have to stay flexible. Here are my goals for the year:

Reserve a little time to take care of myself daily: making sure to eat right, exercise, just bathe regularly (I’ve heard the baby stories), or just take a time out.

Be more forgiving of myself and others: because E and I will have to figure this out as we go, and so will the grandparents. Also, not to feel too guilty if I have no time for anything (including writing) for a while.

Lastly, to just to take it all one day at a time.

Here’s to less stress, and more joy in 2015! Happy new year 🙂

Less stress and more joy. That sounds good. I think even the “less stress” part by itself would be nice. 🙂
